How Heidi Klum and Seal’s 4 Kids Look: Family Photos Including Seal’s Distinctive Scars

Heidi Klum and Seal began their love story under unique circumstances, as the supermodel was pregnant with her first child when she met the soulful singer. The two went on to share a share deep connection, and despite parting ways, their bond as loving parents to four children remains unbreakable.

Though they are famous, all but one of Heidi Klum and Seal’s children have led lives out of the public eye. Yet, recently their attendance at a premiere has given the world a glimpse of what these A-list celebrity kids look like all grown up.

Leni Klum: Following in Her Mother’s Footsteps

As Heidi’s eldest child, Leni Klum was born in New York City on May 4, 2004. Weighing in at 7 pounds and 5 ounces, Leni and her mother were in excellent health following her birth, according to reports.

Known for role as a judge alongside Sophia Vergara and Simon Cowell on “America’s Got Talent”, the German supermodel shares Leni with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore. However, there have been conflicting reports about the latter’s involvement in his biological daughter’s life.

However, Seal lovingly assumed the father figure role in Leni’s life when he legally adopted her in 2009, 4 years after marrying her mother. “It doesn’t make [Leni] any more or less my daughter. She always has been. All it means is that both Heidi and I wanted her to have the same last name as the rest of us,” the famous singer said.

Following in her mother’s footsteps, Leni embarked on a modeling career, a decision she had long desired. Now, the young model is carving out her own niche in the fashion world.

“I had grown up going to work with my mom. Ever since 11 or 12 years old, I’ve been begging her and then finally I turned 16 and she said that I could finally start modeling.”, Leni said.

Heidi has always valued her connection with Leni, as clearly shown in the touching Instagram post the supermodel made to celebrate her daughter’s 17th birthday in 2021. Heidi posted a throwback video of herself strutting her stuff on a catwalk, revealing she was four months pregnant in the clip.

“If I look close enough then I can see you bumping right along at 4 months @LeniKlum. I loved you before you were born, and I will love you long after I close my eyes forever,” the sweet caption read in part.

Henry Samuel: A Creative Soul

After revealing their pregnancy in March 2005, Heidi and Seal welcomed their first child together, a son named Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, in September of that same year.

Born in a Los Angeles-area hospital, it was reported that both mother and baby were “happy and healthy.” The name Günther was chosen to honor Heidi’s father, a nod to her German heritage.

Henry was born just some months after his parents got marriage in a romantic beach wedding near Seal’s home on Mexico’s luxurious Costa Careyes. The family settled into their Bel Air estate Shortly after Henry’s birth, where he joined his older sister.

Henry was often remarked upon for his striking resemblance to his father as a newborn. Heidi humorously shared her thoughts on that.

“Everyone who sees him says, ‘Oh my God, he looks just like Seal.’ And I’m like, ‘He has nothing of me? C’mon, there must be something of me in there somewhere.’ And they’re like, ‘No, sorry, he looks just like his father.’ I’m a little sad about that,” the model said through laughter.

Unlike his sister, Henry has mostly remained out of the spotlight. Nevertheless, his desire for privacy hasn’t stopped his mother from expressing her admiration for him.

In 2011, Heidi described her 6-year-old son Henry as “very artistic,” highlighting his tendency to dwell in his own imaginative world. She affectionately remembered an outing when Henry wore large, fluffy green dinosaur slippers to dinner.

“You can barely walk in those things, but for him, it’s not weird at all,” she laughed. Henry’s creative spirit was evident from a young age, as Heidi shared in 2008 that he enjoyed playing dress-up with his sister’s princess gowns.

“There’s nothing wrong with that,” Heidi explained, embracing her son’s playful exploration of different outfits. The supermodel humourly admitted that the flashy, elegant dresses were far more fun than traditional Buzz Lightyear costumes.

Johan Samuel: Growing Up Away from the Spotlight

Heidi and Seal joyfully announced the birth of their second son, Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel on November 22, 2006. Born at 5:01 p.m. in Los Angeles, Johan weighed a healthy 8 pounds and 11 ounces.

From the start, Johan’s parents have been committed to keeping him out of the public eye. Similar to his older brother Henry, Johan has been kept away from the spotlight, with Heidi seldom posting photos of him online.

However, Heidi posted a wholesome snap on Instagram in 2021, showing herself dwarfed between her two tall sons. The photo, taken from behind, humorously highlighted her sons’ impressive height compared to her’s. “How did I get so short?” the caption read.

Lou Samuel: The Youngest and Most Festive

Heidi and Seal’s youngest child, Lou Sulola Samuel, in Los Angeles, was born on October 9, 2009. Seal expressed profound joy and love in a heartfelt statement following her birth.

“It’s difficult to imagine loving another child as much as you love your existing children. […] Lou Sulola Samuel was born, and from the moment she looked into both of our eyes, it was endless love at first sight,” the singer shared.

Seal announced Lou’s impending arrival earlier that year during a Radio City Music Hall concert, where the singer surprised his audience and Heidi with the news.

Reflecting on that moment, Heidi revealed, “[The news] came out faster than I wanted it to. My husband kind of surprised me and everybody at one of his concerts.”

The youngest of the Samuel siblings has been largely shielded from the public eye, much like her brothers. However, Lou is known for one unique trait that sets her apart from her siblings: her love for Halloween.

In 2021, Heidi disclosed that Lou was the only one of her children who shared her enthusiasm for the holiday. Instead of her usual extravagant Halloween party, Heidi hosted a smaller celebration for her kids, where Lou stood out by fully embracing the spirit of the occasion.

Heidi proudly noted, “Out of four, there’s only one that really is going for it and that’s Lou.” Lou dressed up as an Anime character, complete with “full-on makeup, the hair, all the accessories.”

Seal’s Rare and Wholesome Public Outing with His Children

In early January, Seal shared a special and rare public moment with all four of his children. The musician attended the premiere of “The Book of Clarence,” directed by his brother, and stepped out with all of his kids.
